Eclipse – Audio

Standard

Music – Zen Meditation Planet

Funny
Fickle folks

Distracted, dismayed
Easily turned this way and that
Only yesterday riots ruled
Bellicose blood lust Birthed
Soldiers line up obeying commands
Righteous, indignant
Life surrendered
Sacrificed to the Symbolic
Stereotyped Right and Left
Cartoon combatants clash in the Meme War
Conjured Heroes and Villians
US and THEM fuel the fiction
Then . . .
Nothing . . .
Silence . . .
Click, click
Channel changed
New program downloaded
Plans, preparations made
NASA’s nature demands attention
Danger!
Look but don’t See
Blinded by the light
Alien Nature
The Sun and Moon a novelty now
See it through cereal boxes and cheap sunglasses
Artificial Life instructs, guides our interactions
The natural a weird and foreign land
Simulated life our Home
Neon’s buzz and digital code the true Eclipse

  1. ELECTION TIME

    Back home
    We get the big picture
    Yes, yes
    All cogs in a wheel
    But exiled down here
    Torn to pick sides

    When push comes to shove
    Comes time to choose
    Self or other?
    Greed or comradeship?
    Trust or terror?
    Clarity enwrapped in mist

    The right
    Is in the wrong
    The left
    Is all that’s left
    And often
    A poor do at that

    Left right, left right
    Up, down, up down
    Round and round
    And round and round
    And here we are again
    And here we go again

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Every day is election day.
